ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the effect of Taichi footwork assisted routine rehabilitation training on the influence of limb balance disorder in patients with hemiparesis after strokein the recovery period.Methods:A total of 60 patients with hemiparesis after stroke in our hospital from March 2017 to May 2018, who met the selection criteria, were divided into 2 groups by random number table method, 30 in each group. The conventional rehabilitation group took the conventional rehabilitation training method, and the Taichi footwork group took Taichi footwork training method based on conventional rehabilitation method. Both groups were treated for 4 weeks. The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) was used to evaluate the patient's balance ability, the Holden Walking Aability Classification (HWAC) was used to evaluate the lower limb walking ability, and the Fugl-Meyer Motor Function Rating Scale (FMS) was used to assess the limb function.Results:After the treatment, the BBS score (44.4 ± 7.9 vs. 38.7 ± 9.9, t=4.885), the HWAC grade (3.6 ± 1.0 grade vs. 2.7 ± 1.0 grade, t=5.152) and FMS score (12.3 ± 1.4 vs. 10.4 ± 1.4, t=4.785) of the Taichi footwork group were significantly higher than those of the conventional rehabilitation group ( Ps<0.01). Conclusions:Taichi footwork assisted conventional rehabilitation training can improve the walking ability of patients with hemiparesis after stroke in the recovery period, which helps the patientsregain limb function.
